Hopefully sometime soon I will be back posting and am hoing to start with how to get ffdshow working with VMCD.

Before I vanish again a quick tip on tracking down Extender configuration errors. If you get a configuration error when adding a new Extender then take a look in the Media Center section of the event viewer (System Tools) you will probably see an error with an error code a a link for web-help on this error. Rather remarkably this web help can be very helpful at diagnosing the problem.

Hi Gary,I tried to use your awesome Vista Media Center decoder utility, and while it works well with PowerDVD. I am unable to set WinDVD9 Blu-ray/pro since it does not even show up in the options.I would love advice here how to make windvd 9 blu-ray/pro the default mpeg2 player and for H264/VC-1 just like powerdvd worked.Thanks!

I have tried almost everything, but still the screen remains black....I have installed all possible Mpeg-2 decoders I could find, including the nvidia trial version, but nothing works. I run Vista Ultimate , and even with your tool, there are no decoders shown. In regedit, the PreferredMPEG2VideoDecoderCLSID = {212690FB-83E5-4526-8FD7-74478B7939CD}...does anyone have any idea what I can do? )I am getting desperate...)
